About

Merkato is a modern and intuitive financial market tracker designed for the GNOME desktop. Built with GTK4 and Libadwaita, it provides a native and elegant interface for monitoring stocks, indices, currencies, and cryptocurrencies in real-time using Yahoo Finance data. The application offers both a traditional list view and an interactive heatmap view, allowing users to visualize market performance in multiple ways. Stocks are automatically categorized into sectors such as Technology, Healthcare, Energy, Financial Services, and more. Merkato also features persistent watchlists, automatic refresh, sorting options, and support for 27 languages. Merkato is fully open source and built with performance and simplicity in mind, following GNOME's Human Interface Guidelines to deliver a clean, consistent, and distraction-free user experience.
